Sword & Planet

Paying Homage to my Muse

Most of my early works were strongly influenced by the stories of Edgar Rice Burroughs, my favorite writer. I especially loved his Sword & Planet novels—John Carter of Mars, Carson of Venus, the Moon books, and others. My first two published novels back in the late ’70s, The Prisoner of Reglathium and The Conquerors of Reglathium, were written in the style of my muse.
